Bone The Fish - Most Recent Comments!

Who said you can't coin your own term? What is "Boning the Fish"? It's a moment. A defining moment when you know that your favorite TV Show, Celebrity, Movie Series or Music Group has reached its peak. That instant you know from now on...it's all downhill. Some call it a climax of sorts. We call it "Boning the fish". From that moment on things will simply never be the same.

Camp Lazlo - TV ShowsCamp Lazlo is EASILY one of the greatest shows Cartoon Network has produced in the last decade. -- Submitted By: (ScottyB) on July 30, 2009, 6:08 pm

Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve - TV ShowsI feel bad for Dick. During the countdown to 2009, he was a full two seconds off of the countdown. When the crowd was on 4, Dick was still on 6. This timeless once-a-year special never jumped the shark (yes I said it, so eat that, TV Guide!) -- Submitted By: (ScottyB) on July 30, 2009, 6:03 pm

Cartoon Network - Random TopicsThey get rid of good shows like Ed, Edd, 'n' Eddy, Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and Camp Lazlo and replace them with horrible shows like Johnny Test, 6TEEN, and Chop Socky Chooks.

Route 66 - TV ShowsThe 1960 template for all the wandering samaritan shows that followed, from The Fugitive to Run For Your Life, and beyond. And for the restlessness that had been prefigured by the 1950s Beats and would became mainstream as the leading edge of the baby boom reached their teens. Checkout the insightful discussion at the Museum of Broadcast Communications site ( http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/R/htmlR/route66/route66.htm ): "The show's stark black and white photography and spectacular locations provided a powerful backdrop to its downbeat stories, and yielded a photographic and geographical realism that has never been duplicated on American television." -- Submitted By: (JohnWest) on July 30, 2009, 12:42 pm

Yes, we get it, you're the map, you're the map, you're the map, you're the map, you're the map, you're the map, YOU'RE THE FREAKING MAP ALREADY! I really believe this show insults the intelligence of younger kids. What is a young girl doing in the wilderness unsupervised anyway? Swiper is probably the worst villain of all time. If this show is truly "educational", it's basically telling kids that if a burglar breaks into your house, all you have to do is yell "SWIPER, NO SWIPING!", and the burglar will leave you alone. In the real world, not only will you be robbed, but the child will most likely be kidnapped as well. As to how this "show" hasn't been canceled yet, I have no idea. -- Submitted By: (ScottyB) on July 30, 2009, 12:29 pm

Kevin Costner - CelebritiesI think "Waterworld" was one soggy mess. Even if the Poles melte entirely, there still would be plenty of land left for folks to live on-albeit more crowded. Say goodbye to Venice, Amsterdam and almost all of Florida, though! Oh, I think after that, it would have been better had Costner decided to become a character actor rather than try to stick with leading hero roles. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on July 29, 2009, 2:39 pm

Good Times - TV ShowsI think they should have wrapped it up after James got killed because once he was gone, it became too much the JJ 'Dy-no_MITE!' Circus- exactly what John Amos and Esther Rolle had tried to prevent!

Come to think of it, NONE of the 'kids' looked as though they could have been the Evanses'. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on July 29, 2009, 2:35 pm

Commercials - Random TopicsInteresting point, Eugene. I'd also like to point out that those TV pundits who claim that audiences aren't influenced by what they watch need only be pointed out that if that were true NO ONE at home would have bothered to buy a Bulova watch when that very first TV commercial came on- and thereafter, television would have had to survive by fund raisers and bake sales had commercials proven to be counterproductive. -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on July 29, 2009, 2:25 pm

Commercials - Random TopicsRemember: This is really what television is all about. Commercials are what pays the bills. The programming is just filler that they include to get people to watch the ads.

Living Lohan - TV ShowsIn this awful POS, Dina Lohan showed the world how she created the mess that is Lindsay Lohan's life by trying to do it again for her younger daughter Ali. I don't know why this program was ever made. If Dina was trying to improve her public image (i.e. trying to counter her image of being a wanna-be celebrity stage mom pimping her daughters so that she can bask in their reflected glory), then this program was a waste of time, because the confirmed to all that's exactly what Dina is. It also shows that younger daughter Ali is a spoiled, talentless brat, and that Dina's youngest son Cody is probably the only remotely normal member of the family. It's interesting that Lindsay, the only member of the family that anyone actually cares about, isn't in this series at all. Perhaps Lindsay has finally learned from her excesses, and is trying to stay away from the more toxic elements of fame (like Dina). In any event, this series (along with the ongoing soap opera of Britney Spears) should be an antidote for anyone that has the crazy idea that their kids should be child stars, by showing some of the reality behind the fantasy. -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 29, 2009, 5:40 am

House - TV ShowsI watched an episode or two because of a "medical mystery" angle being hyped in the ads. However, I'm totally NOT impressed with Dr. House - he just comes off as a jerk and someone you can't quite trust. If I worked at PPTH and went with House for beers after a shift, I wouldn't turn my back on my drink. Similar to my girlfriend's coining the show nickname "Desperate Ho-wives" for Desperate Housewives, my nickname for this show is "The Life and Times of Dr. Moral E. Bankrupt." On this site, though, he should be referred to as Dr. Bone T. Fish. -- Submitted By: (Mythigator) on July 28, 2009, 9:21 pm

Beverly Hills, 90210 - TV ShowsThe show lost its touch after the gang graduated from high school.

Brady Bunch Hour, The - TV ShowsIt's tough to think of more pathetic moments on TV than when the 'kids' said they wanted to sing songs of 'our generation'- and they wound up singing a disco version of the 1920's hit 'Baby Face' followed by them singing(yes, singing- to a degree) 'The Hustle'! The whole concept boned Day One and it's telling that there wasn't ever the slightest reference in all the later reunion shows/movies about this time of them having sold their home to do a variety show and having a Fake (and whinier) Jan)! -- Submitted By: (Pelirojo) on July 28, 2009, 9:44 am

Star Trek - Movie SeriesI think that the recent movie killed Star Trek. It was primarily space opera/SFX eye candy, with a few characters vaguely reminiscent of Trek classic stirred in. If it hadn't been called "Star Trek", I wouldn't have gotten bent out of shape. I feel that there's a certain intellectual dishonesty in putting a name associated with an existing "Franchise", and then doing something with little connection with the original. It's like trying to have your cake and eat it too - if you want to do something almost totally new, that's fine: Let it sink or swim on its own merits. Conversely, if you associate it with an existing "Franchise", then there are certain expectations from the pre-existing fan community that you're trying to attract. In the case of the newest Trek movie, I think they went too far. -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 28, 2009, 8:43 am

Saturday Morning Cartoons - Random TopicsTo be fair, there are two very good reasons why you don't have Saturday morning kids programing like before:
1) Saturday morning kids programming was a legacy of the days when there were only 3 networks. Nowadays, there are hundreds of channels, and plenty of places to get kids programming 24/7.
2) With videotape and DVDs, you can supply your own programming of choice anytime you like.
I remember the classic days of Saturday morning cartoons, but I think that given the choice, I'd take today's alternative. -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 28, 2009, 7:34 am

House - TV ShowsIt's like 'Springtime For Hitler' from Mel Brooks' comedy 'The Producers,' i.e., a show deliberately created to be so bad it was bound to fail but which, perversely, turned out to be a hit. Leaden cinematography to match House's immobile, humorless face; dialog divorced from character, action divorced from reality; a hospital without nurses; junk medicine; seems to have been written by teenagers. The women are lovely, particularly the delicious Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein), but try to imagine House making love to her, mugging for the camera through it all. Ugh! -- Submitted By: (JohnWest) on July 28, 2009, 6:41 am

Britney and Kevin: Chaotic - TV ShowsIf possible, I would have said that this jumped before day one, at the moment that someone at UPN thought that broadcasting this homemade mess was a good idea. The one possible virtue to this series was revealing just how clueless and self-absorbed some celebrities can be: perhaps excerpts from this will be used someday as part of a biography program titled "The Decline and Fall of Britney Spears". The content of the program does raise the question of just what Britney was thinking when she married K Fed, although it also tends to show that thinking isn't exactly Britney's strong point. I remain astounded that this ever got on the air, and I am doubly astounded that it was released on DVD. (I'd love to know what kind of people actually bought copies). This is another contender for the "Bottom of the Barrel" award for the most awful reality TV series of all time. -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 28, 2009, 5:40 am

Doctor Who - TV ShowsThe history of Doctor Who is very complicated, with 10 actors having played the lead part (to date), and multiple changes in format from 1963 to 2009. In essence, in considering the entire run of the show, you're really looking at several different programs, and it could be argued that the program has boned (and deboned back) on multiple occasions. Personally, in most respects I consider the 1963 to 1989 incarnation to be a separate program from the post 2004 version. In the 'classic program', I consider the peak to have been the first three Tom Baker seasons (when Phillip Hinchcliffe was producer), and the BTF moment to be when Peter Davison was replaced by Colin Baker. It wasn't just the change of lead actor: A lot of other things changed at the same time, and not for the better. Although Doctor Who ran for four seasons beyond this change, its death warrant had already been signed. -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 28, 2009, 5:36 am

Sonic the Hedgehog - Random TopicsI was never a Sonic fan. The whole Blast Processing thing just turned me off of. I however know people that are Sonic fans and though them have learned a fair bit and wish that I hadn't.
One thing that I'm a little unclear on is that I was under the impression that Tails was always a super genius right from his debut.
When considering the plots and if making them too serious ruins it, I find myself asking the question of why we play videogames. In the end, I think it gets down to one main reason. In video games, we play the role of a character in a story involving solving a problem (small or serious) rather then just reading about said character. It feels as though *we* can do something about the problem and see results.
When we're playing a 3 foot tall cartoon hedgehog that runs around wearing nothing but sneakers and gloves, I tend to agree that having just enough story (even if it makes little sense) to give us a reason for wanting to play the role of the character should be enough.
I think mascot characters should be for fun. Adding a lot of angst and seriousness to the character in my opinion takes away from the point of the character.

C.O.P.S. (Cartoon) - TV ShowsA fun show and a part of my childhood that still puts a smile on my face when I think about it or see clips of it.
That doesn't mean the show didn't have issues. Believe me, the show that plenty of issues. Though I think we do have to remember that it was the 80s and it was a kid's cartoon. So, I think we need to look at it from the point of view of a kid that might not question a lot of the stuff that might not make sense.
It did seem strange how often we'd see the criminals in jail or police custody at the end of an episode only for them to be free by the next episode.
I will also admit that the behaviour of the some of the bad guys was rather -- well, to put mildly, they behaved like kids in the bodies of adults. However, that was part of the charm of the show. Episodes like the ones where The Big Bosses Mother visits were hilarious. Sure, I might roll my eyes at it when looking back at it as an adult. But as a kid, it entertained me.
Perhaps that is the key to enjoying shows (or any form of entertainment) like this. Yes, you need to suspend your disbelief to sometimes extreme levels. But if you can, the show is a lot of fun. Sure, the show was far too silly at times. But for a kid that was a bit of a dreamer and never worried about something being unrealistic, the show was a lot of fun. I think that's what matters. -- Submitted By: (ExplodingConsole) on July 27, 2009, 3:48 pm

Britney Spears - CelebritiesI have to admit that Britney's current celebrity is a bit of a mystery to me. Her fame when she was 18-ish is understandable: She was jail bait and marketed as such. But she doesn't look like that anymore, and in her recent live performances, she doesn't sing (live), doesn't dance much, or do much of anything besides just being there in an entertainment spectacular that would probably work just as well if she wasn't there at all. Sometimes, she barely seems to know where she is. And yet she had no problem selling most of the tickets to her current tour. Why? -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 27, 2009, 3:43 pm

Guinness World Records - Random TopicsThe Guinness Book of World Records used to be an almost scholarly tome. It used to assume a fair amount of literacy on the part of its readers: I was inspired to teach myself exponential notation so that I could understand some of the entries in the science and technical area. (Guinness also used to publish top-quality record books/references on specific subjects like aviation, animals, astronomy, etc.). No longer: Since Norris McWhirter was ousted as a consultant in 995, the book has turned to crap. I read somewhere recently that the main target audience of the Guinness book of Records is teenage boys, and that explains a lot. Sometimes, it looks like they decided which celebrities they wanted to feature in the book, and then tailored the "records" to fit. -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 27, 2009, 11:44 am

Bugs Bunny Show - TV ShowsWB hasn't released any of the really controversial stuff yet on DVD (for example, Coal Black and de Sebben Dwarves, or Second World War propaganda cartoons with stereotype protrayals of Japanese soldiers), but what they have released to date (six 4 DVD sets) has been totally uncut. In addition, the material has been nicely restored and cleaned up, without going so far as to fix it up too much. The DVDs also contain a wealth of extras and supporting material. If you like WB cartoons and haven't bought the DVDs yet, pick them up -- you're in for a treat! -- Submitted By: (Eugene) on July 27, 2009, 9:59 am
